A friend of mine has given me an old box to play with. I've tried to install both 9002 and 10k on it. Upon bootup the box seems to hang on `loading vmlinuz...`. Now i get disk error 80, AX = 4200, drive 9F`.

I think that it may be a hard drive error but it had win 98 installed on it previously. I checked that the box could install from a cd in the bios as the boot order is cdrom,a,c.

I have told all of my friends, family and wrok mates to give me their unwanted boxes. Would be gratefull if any one could outline the steps that they would do to rescue it. This is so that I can learn myself and do it for other orphan boxes and they could be blagged up. Not sure what to use them for though..... compiling kernels perhaps
